bloke phones doctor : hello doctor i think my wifes dead..how do you mean you think shes dead...
well the sex is the same but the washings piling up

if you route the git channel to a group channel the signal path is automatic
but make sure you are getting a healthy signal into the group channel.....normalise the git track and set the volume at 0db ( automation track - this normally defaults to 0db )
you need to drive the revalver with a decent signal ( check the levels on the control module of the revalver )
they need to be around 0db

a penguin walks in this bar and asks the barman ' has my dad been in ' and the barman says ' dont know ..whats he look like '

you have to sort the midi and render it to audio first ( using your pro sounding instruments )...then....you can use your
plugs and fx to start ( along with the other parts you have rendered say piano/brass etc )
creating a mix of audio and forming backing tracks or whatever....just use what you need...yes... forget them midi guitar parts and do your own thing ( or if you want to emulate a guitar part listen to the original tracks )

ps you're getting there

if you use a plugin on a channel it is only that channel that the plugin effects
if you use an fx channel ...then the send of every individual channel will access that fx..the more you turn up the send on a channel..the more will be processed and you will hear in the mix.... ..the difference is .. if its a repeat echo then everything using it will have the same echo.. ie it is common...the same as a hardware mixer

create a group track ( stereo ) and route the 2 guitar tracks the that group ( in the inspector..the info on the left hand side) insert the plugin on the group track.. it will be applied
to both git channels..you can also pan L or R via the individual channel
if you add an fx track...use the channel ' sends ' to apply the effect...that way every channel can use  one fx ( ..but with a common setting )

ps dont worry about duplicating plugins you can use as many as you like

try and play that lick @ the 5th position without using your pinky + i dont like to see a player using his 3rd
finger instead of 4th ...it just looks bad ( amateurish )......just my opinion

not using your pinky is a real bad habit..and technique ... thats the trouble people watch the named git players and because there not using their pinky everbody thinks its alright not to...wrong...sash should use
his pinky when he's supposed to ..not when he feels like it ( bad technique ) ..watch the top notch git players they all use their
4th finger in a well balanced technique

so ..wherever your first first finger is ( fret wise ) thats the position you are playing in ie if your first finger is at fret 4 you,re at the fourth position and the following 3 frets should be played with fingers 2,3, and 4
as a rule of thumb ( how did the thumb get into it )..this was the first thing i was taught way back in history

ive found the 4 front bass not to bad for my style which is a lot lighter than yours..there are some great
bass plugs around you need to experiment to get the sound you want..i.play bass guitar but i always finish
up using a plug..i also use a sampler ( software ) to play back bass samples i have done in the past..so
get a real good bass sound on your bass guitar...sample every other note starting at low E upto say octave A and commit it to a sampler..you'll then have your bass on tap each time ( without having to worry about recording it at each session ) to input via the keyboard with all the luxuries of midi
http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/Shortcircuit/
this prog is medium learning..but you can play any samples back with it..i also use it for custom bass drums/snares/toms etc.....and its zero dosh
directwave is another good wav sampler but thats not free

you can do all your sampling and sample editing ie normallising / compressing etc in cubase..so you can get a dog bllx sound before you commit it to the sampler..once you've set it up you can save it as an instrument
to load at will

midi is a great tool ( via keyboards esp ) for writing bass lines ,drum tracks,orchestrations etc...i  always use midi when songwriting and laying tracks ( or covers )...its very flexible as things can be changed ( sounds / notes etc ) after they have been recorded..and if you cant play keyboard..no problem ..correct your mistakes after...get everything right ..sort your sounds...and render to audio
remember your guitar is the main instrument waiting.. ready to augment any tracks you have already laid using midi
cubase is the keystone of midi seq..and you've got it so use it....anything you want to know about
midi..esp with cubase fire away

ps trying to upload midi example but cant get it to work

he wrote this for his band but tony hatch had other ideas.my co partner recognised this as a hit straight away but this guy has wrote loads of good tunes ( with nowhere near the same success )..he also had a No.1 with isnt she lovely ( steve wonder cover)...he plays the sax on it..he never struggled(s) because he took (takes) his songwriting as a secondary profession ( hobby )
if you,re going to write a song try and write a  no.1 it will probably finish up as an album track anyway
